Welcome to the Iris (Halo 3 ARG) Wiki

ANNOUNCEMENT: As you may well have noticed, the Wiki was down for over a day, since early afternoon June 20th - this was due to an unexpected server migration with the hosting ISP. Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused. I'm not happy about the events that have occurred, but I am working to have the wiki back up to date as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience and support.

Read first: Frequently Asked Questions
- A quick summary overview

Find out the most commonly asked questions, and get a foothold into what this is all about

Outline: The story so far

It all began with AdjutantReflex, likely an A.I., posting cryptic messages in a forum...

Of Interest: The hive mind at work

What are people's interpretations of the discoveries and events taking place? Puzzles, research, reference...

Web Reference: Resources, Websites, Communities

Trying to separate the signal from the noise... where's the best place to get involved?

Characters: Who? What?

Get to know them... they'll become your life

Theories: Why? How?

There are enough of these.

Thanks to Silent_Shadow900 and FauxHammer for supplying the FAQ and initial summary

(June 20)
  • At 12:00AM EDT, the text above the countdown disappeared, leaving only the halted timer.
  • Around 9PM EDT, the transmission log redirected to a different server (a system labelled 'Bounce Path Control'), where visitors were prompted to enter a verification code. The first 100 people to enter this code were presented with another page displaying:
Bounce Path Control
The Past (link to an mp3 narrative)
The Key
(23 digit unique key code)
The Path ->
Treat this knowledge with care

followed by:

Key Received
(#) more keys are required before this server's content is available.
For your participation in unlocking this Forerunner database you will be rewarded. More information will be sent to you soon.
The MP3 voice is most likely an AI, saying:
Transcription:
This is how it all begins
Just in time to do the dance again on the knife's edge of oblivion
To relive what the Halos had hoped to destroy and more
For two enemies now stand where before there's only one
A fate we escaped, and a fate you may relive
I had almost convinced myself that no one was listening
That the waves of the past would roll through once again
But a chance remains to change the Universe anew
Learn of our past
Take these keys and dip from the wells of history
Perhaps through others of us you may find how to save us all
